Halloween

Often considered the first real slasher franchise, John Carpenter's Halloween has endured for decades because of its iconic musical score, as well as its perfect monster in the form of knife-wielding maniac, Michael Myers. Rob Zombie rebooted the series in 2007, and we haven't seen much of Mr. Myers since Halloween II in 2009. However, it was recently revealed that Blumhouse has tapped John Carpenter to executive produce a new installment some time in the near future. The upcoming reboot and/or sequel does not yet have a story, a director, or even a release date, but we expect to see Michael Myers butchering babysitters some time within the next few years.
